Mr. Ashok was counting his steps towards his office at 0545 hrs on an overcast Saturday morning. He's gonna shoot the 6.3 k.m running expedition with his colleagues, that's going to be started from his office at 0600 hrs. With his feet wide apart, holding a mid range DSLR in his hands was aiming at a banner at his office entrance which's welcoming all the runners with a slogan 'fit for life'. It was his first official shoot for his company and he was so excited to cover the entire run. Ashok was prepared well with the settings and tweaks for this marathon shoot, he took great photographs in his past and he knows that he would repeat the same that day as well. As the run was about to begin, Ashok made his way through the crowded runners to the start line where he could take some flagging shots at the start of the run. He captured those initial candid moments and went along with the crowd for some more stunning shots. Ashok went far and wide with the runners and captured all their emotions along their path. During his photo-shoot, he came across different personalities some of them he knows and some other who knows him running towards a common goal. He noticed that one thing is common among all, as he smiled at everyone he came across they have smiled back instantly at him. Is there something in the camera that made them smile or is that people out there just had this habit of smiling when ever they see a photographer.
After some time when the sun was out and Ashok was relentlessly moving along with the crowd taking as many photographs as possible. Then he got exhausted a bit and when he tried to capture the runners with a frown on his face, he noticed that the smiles which he saw earlier on the runners were then faded away. Ashok rested for a minute and again tried to capture some more shots. He smiled at a small boy from the crowd who got exhausted but still running towards the finish line, the boy instantly smiled back with a pleasant grin. At that moment Ashok realized that the world around us is a reflection of our inner self. If we're happy and healthy, we shall find the world to be a heaven and vice-versa. He continued the shoot until the finish line and an award function after that with a sense of achievement and pride. His running expedition was a grand success.
